Festival Survival Guide For Vapers

You’ve been watching your mailbox with excitement, waiting through the cold months of winter for those tickets to arrive. Well, now they’re here and you’re ready to brave the UK festival season. Whether you’re heading off for a two-day event or going all out for the marathon that is Glastonbury, taking your vape adds another thing to consider when you’re there. From the supplies to take, to vape maintenance while you’re there and a few recommendations - E-Liquid Superstore have you covered.

Let’s start with your packing list. You’ve got the body glitter, novelty blow up unicorn and enough beers in the boot of your car to make the suspension drop. So what do you need to take to make sure your vape lasts the distance?

• E-liquid - and plenty of it. The obvious first item for the list, regardless of whether that’s nic salts or a shortfill, make sure you’re well stocked. Once you’re through those gates it’s pretty unlikely you’ll find anywhere selling juice. Aside from that, you’ll be able to help out those poor lost souls wandering around looking for a few ml of liquid.
• Spare pods or coils. Unless you’re going away for a week, these aren’t a must but it’s always good to be prepared in case you accidentally burn one out. You want your flavour and vapour to stay on point and if you’re puffing away all day, you’ll get through them a little faster than you normally would.
• A power bank. This one practically goes without saying. Aside from being able to keep your phone charged up, you don’t want your vape to run out of power either. Pop one of these in your bum bag, plug your vape in while you’re not using it and you’ll never hit that dreaded “red flashing light” while you’re raving.

Cleaning supplies. Wet wipes or loo roll - they’re good for your hands AND your vape. Just like when you’re at home, you’ll want to keep your vape clean and tidy while you’re away too to make sure it lasts. Packing a bit of spare loo roll is a good idea to wipe out the inside of the drip tip and clean off any excess e-liquid if you get overzealous when refilling. In any case, you never know when the port-a-loos might run out so spare paper is always a good idea.

In the UK, we like to think our manners are pretty good. Keep that in mind when you’re in the mosh pit - that means no blowing vapour in anyone’s face (leave the big boy box mod at home). You’ll also want to check where you can vape. Most festivals are open air so you’ll be fine to vape away where you feel like. As a general rule, keep the vape outside the tent (both the one you’re sharing with fellow festival goers and the tent you’re raving in). There may be a designated smoking and vaping area for certain parts of the festival so keep an eye out for those.

We’ve got a few recommendations if you’re looking for the right kind of kit to take with you. They’re all solid on battery life, are refillable (so you don’t need to pack a bunch of pre-filled pods, just e-liquid) and they’re small enough to fit in your ostentatious bum bag. We’ve included two pen vapes, two pod mods with options for Sub Ohm vapers and mouth to lung vapers.
